Late Imperial China
Author Guidelines

Manuscripts for publication should be submitted to:

Tobie Meyer-Fong
Department of History
Johns Hopkins University
tmeyerf@jhu.edu

Article manuscripts should be submitted electronically as Microsoft Word files (.doc). For purposes of double blind review, the author's name should not appear on the manuscript.

Articles should be double-spaced including indented quotes, footnotes, and bibliography. Out of consideration for our reviewers, Late Imperial China will only consider articles of up to 50 pp double-spaced in length. If you have questions about the length of your article, please contact the editors before submission. If your article is accepted for publication, you will be asked to submit an abstract of no more than 100 words with the final version.

Footnotes and bibliography should follow the Chicago Manual of Style 15th Edition for the humanities (see Chicago Manual of Style , Section 15).

Manuscripts submitted to LIC should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Romanization should follow the Pinyin Romanization system for Chinese, Möllendorf for Manchu, Hepburn for Japanese, and McCune-Reischauer for Korean.

All articles must include a bibliography and a glossary of relevant Chinese names and terms. It is not necessary to include characters for well-known place names in the glossary (i.e. province names, Beijing, Nanjing, etc.). The journal prefers traditional characters in Unicode fonts. Chinese characters should not appear in the text of the article, footnotes, or bibliography.

In the bibliographies, the titles of Asian-language books and articles should be accompanied by a translation in parentheses. For example: Ming-Qing Huishang yu Huai-Yang shehui bianqian (Huizhou merchants and social change in the Huai-Yang region during the Ming and Qing).
